Patrick's Story
Patrick grew up in the picturesque town of Buffalo Junction, VA, near the North Carolina State line. An only child, his mother and father, Larry and Lena, were loving and supportive parents. Church was at the forefront of life as his dad was a deacon in the church. He was fortunate to live in a small town with many of his relatives very close by, so in that sense, we wasn't an only child at all.
He attended Chowan University, were he studied Business Administration and Computer Information Systems. He later moved to Charlottesville, VA were he resided until moving to Maryland.
He is a big movie enthusiast and is especially talented in computer technology.
Our Story
We met online on a social networking site in 2007. We talked for weeks online and when we met in person, it was love at first sight. Patrick moved to Maryland our relationship grew.
In 2010 we adopted Princess Fiona, and we became a family.
We are so excited to get married at Brookside Gardens, (a place we often visit) among a small group of family and friends, surrounded by God's green earth and hopefully lots of flowers.
We feel so blessed to finally get married! We look forward to loving and laughing together for the rest of our lives, God willing.
